Usage[edit]

This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to WP:IPA for English. The transcription should match the conventions of that key; for narrower dialect transcriptions, use {{IPA-all}}, which links to a more complete IPA key.

The first parameter in the template is for the transcription, and a second optional parameter is a switch that controls the wording introducing the transcription. With no second value, the introduction English pronunciation: appears:

  • {{IPA-en|n}}English pronunciation: /n/
  • {{IPA-en|n|pron}}pronounced /n/
  • {{IPA-en|n|lang}}English: /n/
  • {{IPA-en|n|local}}locally /n/
  • {{IPA-en|n|IPA}}IPA: /n/
  • {{IPA-en|n|UK}}UK: /n/
  • {{IPA-en|n|US}}US: /n/
  • {{IPA-en|n|}}/n/

Any of these may be combined with a sound file in an optional third parameter:

  • {{IPA-en|n|local|En-us-'n'.ogg}}locally /n/

To use the default introductory wording when a third parameter is used, a placeholder such as ‹-› (something that does not match any of the above switches) is required in the second parameter:

  • {{IPA-en|n|-|En-us-'n'.ogg}}English pronunciation: /n/

or the third parameter must be explicitly numbered:

  • {{IPA-en|n|3=En-us-'n'.ogg}}English pronunciation: /n/
